Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 빛난다. 아일라의 카올 일라가 1980년 버번 호그스헤드에서 30년을 견딘 이 위스키는 부드러운 훈연과 레몬, 바다 내음의 향을 섬세하게 피워 올린다. 46도의 매끄러운 질감이 입안에서 그을린 보리와 시트러스의 단맛을 우아하게 풀어낸다. 오래 숙성된 아일라다운 마무리는 옅어진 연기와 소금기가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
hold on, are you sure this is Caol Ila? It’s more medicinal than Laphroaig, more coastal than Ardbeg and more tarry than Port Ellen! Having said that, it all remains smooth and easy, but it does remind me more of pre-extension Coal Ila, such as the late-1960s vintages. Just ask Gordon & MacPhail. At random, I also find anchovies, bandages, olive oil, pitch, coal, seafood (crabs from the sound of Islay?) and touches of camphor. No need to say that all this is just perfect
restaurant Palate
perfect. Perfect balance, saltiness, lemon, fish, seashells, cough lozenges, kippers, salmiak, anchovies, urchins, oysters, clams… On second thought, maybe not clams. Perfect
timer Finish
good length, clean, complex, salty, coastal. No clams, not even in the aftertaste, which is tarrier
